8lbs in 6 weeks!

Magnifique89

Hey I’m back on fitness pal in order to loose 8lb in 6 weeks! (I have a holiday coming up which I want to feel fabulous again!) Since my wedding little over a year ago I’ve put on 1 stone! Absolutely gutted! Thing is I’m not expecting to be that size again because what I ate became my life and don’t really want to be like that again. However, I would like to loose 8lb so I don’t feel so wobbly....I work at a desk 9-5pm(ish) and drive 120miles a day so don’t do much moving throughout the week. However, I am trying to go gym 3 times a week!...my workplace is full of nibbles and snacks and find it so hard to be strict with myself. Could really do with a little motivation with food and exercise, so if anyone is in a similar boat it would be great to have a motivation partner? Also if anyone has any work out tips to help with weight loss then would love to hear them! I quite enjoy doing weights so any ideas would be much appreciated

Welcome! First, I'm going to recommend a couple of really helpful links:

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These are two of the most commonly-referenced threads on MFP; tons of people point to them as being sources of great info when you're starting out.
